Its a solid shot and has everything there to be a great presentation with a little work. I offer you the following changes to be made to give the shot a boost. I use adobe CS2
1. Reduce shadows by 50% and increase highlights by 40%.
2. Increase saturation by +20
3. Sharpen 3 pixels deep at 100%
4. Select BG only and run a surface blur.
5. Decrease midtone input levels to 0.95
6. Increase contrast +10

The original problem with this image was that the Leopard was behind glass, making focus VERY soft.
C_Daniels - thanks for your input, I'd already applied the 'tweaks' suggested and agree with your comment re focus.
Greg - I bow to your greater wisdom!
I have applied the suggested changes and am looking at a different photo. THANKYOU
